The significance of the Mathur Aqueduct and our travel to Mathur with my cousins

The Mathur Aqueduct is a historic and magnificent waterway located in the Thiruvattar taluk of Kanniyakumari district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The aqueduct was initially constructed for irrigation and water distribution to farmland across the taluks of Vilavancode and Kalkulam. 


Historical Significance: 


The Mathur Aqueduct is also called the Mathur Hanging Bridge due to its remarkable structure. Mathoor Aqueduct was constructed in 1966 over the Pahrali River as a drought relief measure to carry water from the Pattanamkal canal for irrigation from an elevated level of one hill to another.


Engineering Marvel: 


The Mathur Aqueduct is unique in that it’s designed to carry water over a deep gorge, which was a significant challenge at the time. It is supported by 28 masonry pillars and the maximum height of the pillars reaches 115 ft. It allows people to walk on the bridge and enjoy the natural beauty of the district. The pillars are mostly set on the rocks of the Pahrali river.


Tourism: 


Over time, the Mathur Aqueduct has become a tourist attraction for its stunning views and historical significance. It offers a scenic setting and provides a glimpse into the engineering prowess of that era. It is roughly 60km from the popular tourist town of Kanyakumari and about 60 km from Trivandrum, the capital of Kerala.


My visit:


Being a native of Kanyakumari district, I have enjoyed visiting this wonderful place. We cousins used to go on trips to nearby places in the month of May. One such year we visited this aqueduct and got to learn more about the aqueduct. This serene and beautiful location is best for photo shoots and brings immense joy.

Benefits of being Short

1. Legroom on airplanes is never an issue If I feel a little cramped in airline seats, then what must it be like for someone who is 6’ tall? It’s the same story with theaters and cinemas – you must have noticed how some people have to sit with their legs at a sideways angle. 2. Less Dangerous I've never banged my head on a low ceiling 11. There will be lots of situations where tall people have to bend over to not hit their head, but you’ll be able to remain upright without bumping into anything. Subsequently, you will be GREAT at limbo. 3.Beds How on earth do taller people manage to sleep in the average bed? I find that there is little room between my feet and the end of the bed, so taller people must find it really difficult – and uncomfortable. 4.Get more help People offer to help you carry things, or do it for you, as they think that a small person like you can’t manage it. Result – effort and sweat saved. 5.Heels  Of any height,...

I would like to share about my passion towards Cooking…. When it started? People who inspired me by their cooking talents....and my motivators ……… only positive comments…. Basically I am lazy girl who know only to eat what my mom prepares…. My mom used to often insist on me learning cooking as it would make my future aromatic (good smelling).

During my final year, one of my friends used to cook by herself and bring it to college.... for her boy friend tooo… And her dishes used to be so tasty.... She used to prepare many food varieties. I used to taste it daily and there started the fire.....First dish which I prepared was "Ennai Kathirika Curry"- a pure Chettinadu Recipe and it was tasted by Joe … She told the dish was so good… And she advised me to prepare variety of dishes…. Really this cooking knowledge helped me a lot when...
